For the BFF whose passion for technology extends to the beauty realm, Dr. Dennis Gross’s DRx SpectraLite Faceware Pro ($709) will be right up her alley. The medical-grade face mask comes with 160 red and blue light-emitting diodes that work on a host of skin issues to promote a healthier-looking complexion. Red LED light, for instance, stimulates collagen production for firmer skin, while blue LED light targets the P. acnes bacteria to reduce inflammation and redness. The promise: A marked improvement to skin appearance after 10 weeks of wearing the device nightly for just three minutes.
Another option your tech nut tribe member will surely appreciate: The FOREO BEAR Skincare Set ($469), which comes packed to the brim with science. Delivering a professional spa experience right at home, the kit partners the microcurrent device BEAR with the brand’s SERUM SERUM SERUM to help lift, tone and firm skin.
The BEAR comes with an Anti-Shock System that ensures maximum safety while using it, 10 microcurrent intensities for a highly customised facial workout, and a T-Sonic technology that utilises sonic pulsations to deliver a gentle massage that helps improve circulation. The hydrating serum, meanwhile, boasts a microencapsulation technology that delivers its actives deep into the dermis. Usage couldn’t be simpler: Apply a thin layer of the serum on the treatment areas, open the integrated FOREO for You app on your phone, choose a skin workout, then glide the BEAR over the target areas for two minutes.
As for the pal who spends hours on the latest electronic devices, there’s no better gift than the ést.lab x Drea Eye-Luminating Holiday Kit ($180), which comprises three OptimaLift A+ products: the Eye Contour Mask, Multi-Repair Eye Essence and Intelligent Eye Revitaliser 2.0. While all are excellent at tackling puffiness, dark circles and fine lines, the cream of the crop is undoubtedly the Intelligent Eye Revitaliser 2.0, a tri-action device that uses red LED light, sonic vibrations and heat therapy to give the eye area a younger and well-rested look in just one minute.
